This Marine Band in Bb minor is a fantastic choice for blues and Celtic musicians seeking that classic Hohner tone. The harmonic minor scale offers unique melodic possibilities, but be aware it's not a general-purpose harmonica. It’s a workhorse instrument, built to last, and delivers that signature Marine Band growl.
